Romance Variety Show: The aloof and beautiful fourth female lead is always coveted.

It was Xu Muyang who spoke.

It was almost time for him to submit his letter, as stipulated by the program team, and he was about to go downstairs to get some stationery.

Unexpectedly, she bumped into Lin Zhao holding Bai Nianchu's hand very close in the stairwell corner, looking resentful as if he was angry with her.

Xu Muyang's first reaction was: Bai Nianchu has been bullied.

He rushed over in a few strides, shook off Lin Zhao's hand, and shielded Bai Nianchu behind him.

"What were you doing just now?!" Xu Muyang's question burst from his throat.

He was like an enraged lion at that moment—his fur stood on end, as if he were about to bare his claws and fangs.

Xu Muyang's sudden appearance disrupted Lin Zhao's thoughts and brought him back to his senses.

It was indeed very impolite and lacked manners to grab Bai Nianchu's hand and prevent her from leaving for no reason.

Even Lin Zhao herself couldn't explain why she had lost control like this, as if she were possessed.

Will Bai Nianchu be scared by him?

Overwhelmed by belated guilt and remorse, Lin Zhao's brows furrowed into a deep frown.

He wanted to apologize to Bai Nianchu, but he also wanted to get Xu Muyang, who was blocking the way, far away.

However, Xu Muyang acted like a protector of a flower, his broad shoulders completely obscuring Bai Nianchu's figure, not revealing a single strand of her hair.

Lin Zhao almost laughed out of anger.

Is he some kind of villainous demon king from an RPG game who kidnaps a princess? Who does this guy surnamed Xu think he is, a hero or a knight who saves the princess?

He was clearly a clown who knew nothing.

Who's this "hero saves the damsel in distress" act for?

Lin Zhao's eyes were dark and deep, as if a storm was brewing, and a melancholy aura surged within them.

But in the end, he said nothing, offered no explanation, and simply turned and left.

Xu Muyang frowned as he watched him walk away before turning around and coaxing him in a soft voice, "Nianchu, are you alright?"

He was too anxious to notice earlier, but now that all his attention was focused on Bai Nianchu, Xu Muyang realized that she was only wearing a thin silk nightgown, her waist was so slender that you could wrap your hands around it, and her exposed arms and calves were dazzlingly white.

Xu Muyang fell into a state of almost frozen focus.

After four or five seconds, he suddenly came to his senses and quickly looked away.

I looked at the ceiling, the stairs, and the floor, but I didn't dare look at people.

"I'm fine."

Upon hearing Bai Nianchu speak, Xu Muyang stammered out a few words: "Then...that's good..."

His eyes darted away, and his ears turned bright red. "I saw you holding a cup; are you going downstairs to get some water?"

"Um."

"I'll pour it for you, you can go back to your room first."

In Xu Muyang's eyes, Lin Zhao had become a mad dog, an incomprehensible lunatic, and he didn't want this guy to get entangled with Bai Nianchu anymore.

"Thanks."

Bai Nianchu handed over the mug in her hand.

Their fingers inevitably touched, the delicate touch like an electric current spreading through the small patch of skin that briefly overlapped, almost causing Xu Muyang to lose his grip on the cup.

"……You're welcome."

Xu Muyang took the cup and hurriedly ran downstairs.

The figure inexplicably gave off a sense of fleeing in panic.

"Like an innocent puppy," the system commented.

The incident was recorded by the corridor cameras, but because Lin Zhao turned off his microphone, the production team couldn't hear his conversation with Bai Nianchu. In addition, since this incident was obviously a private matter between the guests, they did not cut the footage into the live broadcast.

At 10:30, "Heartbeat House" promptly released the contents of the third night's submissions.

Female lead Ye Siyao to male lead Su Yi'an: "I had a lot of fun shopping at the supermarket today."

Jiang Meng (Female Lead) to Su Yi'an (Male Lead): "I didn't expect you to be so good at the stick-pulling game. Being smart really makes a difference~"

The third female character, Liu Zhiwei, said to the second male character, Lin Zhao: "Thank you for your hard work, Chef."

Bai Nianchu (female) to Ling Yan (male): "I'll give it to you next time."

The shippers in the comment section have started analyzing again:

[Has the female lead changed her mind? What happened? Wasn't she always voting for the second male lead, Lin Zhao?]

[I guess it's because the second male lead is too tough.]

[I didn't expect Su Yi'an to become so popular; this must be the first time he's received two letters.]

[The fourth girl said to the fourth boy, "I'll give it to you next time," how sweet!]

[The fourth guy must be ecstatic; he'll even dream about the fourth girl giving him gifts that night.]

When it was the male guest's turn to have his letter revealed, everyone in the live chat was shocked.

Male lead Su Yi'an to female lead Bai Nianchu: "Did you get along very well with Ling Yan? I'm a little envious."

Lin Zhao (male lead) to Bai Nianchu (female lead): "I'm sorry."

Male character Xu Muyang to female character Bai Nianchu: "Get some rest. Feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. Even if there's nothing else, you can still contact me ʕ ᵔᴥᵔ ʔ."

Male Ling Yan (fourth male) to Female Bai Nianchu (fourth female): "It was a lot of fun shopping together. Thank you for choosing me again."

Four men all sent their letters to the same person.

[Holy crap, four letters... How could someone receive four letters at the same time?! This has never happened in previous seasons, is the production team playing some kind of "heartthrob" script?]

It's true! I thought I was seeing things. Seeing everyone's reaction made me believe it.

[This is unbelievable... I know the first, third, and fourth male leads have feelings for the fourth female lead; after all, they've been exchanging messages and sending signals. How come the second male lead, Lin Zhao, is involved too? And what does "sorry" mean? Have they had any conflicts behind the scenes?]

[Xu Muyang's letter was also strange. Something must have happened between them for him to tell me to contact him if I needed anything.]

[Damn it! What is it that my esteemed SVIP status doesn't allow me to watch? Show it all to me!]

[You all say the third male lead is too straightforward, but the fourth male lead is just as straightforward! Ling Yan has been voting for Bai Nianchu since day one.]

[It feels like the fourth male character is slowly melting away, gradually opening up his defenses to the fourth female character, and even writing her letters more often TvT]

Inside the Heart-Fluttering Hut.

Three of the four male guests received the letter, but Xu Muyang did not.

But he's already experienced not receiving mail, so he's gotten used to it.

Meanwhile, the female guests saw that Bai Nianchu's mailbox was full of four letters, while they had none...

The three girls felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Liu Zhiwei was alright; like Xu Muyang, she had gotten used to not receiving any letters.

She doesn't think she lacks charm or isn't pretty enough; she simply feels she's not the type of man these four men like, and vice versa. There isn't a single male guest she particularly likes.

Based on her current interactions and perspective, the four male guests are: a squinty-eyed finance guy, a cargo guy who never leaves his three-piece suit, a naive and sweet guy who is always in high spirits, and a creepy guy who makes people feel uneasy just by looking at him.

Although they all have great looks and figures... Liu Zhiwei still wants to find a normal person to date.

The four of them look like the kind of people who, once they get emotionally attached, can't shake it off and will haunt the other person for a lifetime, just like a male ghost.

While unconventional relationships may be exciting, she still yearns for normal love.

Ye Siyao's discomfort stemmed from the fact that she had probed Lin Zhao's thoughts, and the result of this probe was clearly reflected in the letter she sent tonight.

As for Jiang Meng, it was out of jealousy that Bai Nianchu received a "unanimous vote," and also out of pure resentment at not wanting to be a runner-up.

She was seething with anger, and she pondered furiously:

Bai Nianchu, how come you're so good at fishing?
